2. Mitrephora reticulata, Hook. fil. and Thorns. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 

 77. A tree 20 to 30 feet high : young branches tawny-tomentose, 

 ultimately glabrous and dark-coloured. Leaves narrowly oblong, often 

 slightly obovate, acuminate, the base cuneate or rounded ; both surfaces 

 shining, reticulate, glabrous ; the midrib puberulous on the upper, 

 sparsely setose on the lower, surface ; main nerves 12 to 14 pairs, 

 spreading, prominent, distinct beneath ; length 5 to 14 in., breadth 2 

 to 4 - 5 in. ; petiole - 25 in., swollen. Floivers '2 in. in diam., axillary, 

 solitary or in pairs, or in few-flowered, puberulous cymes ; pedicels long, 

 slender, with many lanceolate bracteoles. Flowers as in M. macro- 

 phylla, monoecious. Ripe carpels ovoid, apiculate, rugose, hoary, - 8 in. 

 long and "65 in diam. Seeds 2.

Burma : prov. Tenasserim ; Heifer. Malacca ; Maingay (Kew Dis- 

 trib.), No. 64. Perak: Wray, King's Collector, Scortechini; not so 

 common as M. macrophylla, Oliver. 



This species has the inner petals rather larger than the outer and 

 much vaulted ; and in this respect it conforms to the characters of 

 Orophea ; but its stamens are uvarioid in character and they are numer- 

 ous ; its flowers, moreover, are unisexual. The characters of Mitrephora 

 therefore preponderate, and it is better located in the latter genus. But 

 there is no doubt it forms a connecting link between the two genera. 



3. Mitrephora macrophylla, Oliver in Hook., Ic. Plant, t. 1562. 

 A small tree ; young branches more or less puberulous, speedily becoming 

 glabrous and cinereous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic-obovate or 

 oblong-oblanceolate, acute or shortly acuminate ; the base rounded, 

 slightly oblique ; both surfaces puberulous at first but speedily glabrous, 

 shining, minutely reticulate ; main nerves 14 to 20 pairs, oblique, in- 

 ter-arching "15 in. from the margin, prominent beneath ; length 7 to 13
